Life on the Canal (Adventures Through Time)

Monday, July 5, 2021 • Duration 05:51

Did you know the Black Country used to be known as Birmingham-on-Sea?

The boat people never stayed in one place for long, they were responsible for moving cargo - even Cadburys chocolate!

People moved cargo along the canals until just after the Second World War!

With the development of the road network, trucks took over and the canals fell into disrepair. The families who lived on the canals had to move into houses.

Colliery Disaster (Adventures Through Time)

Monday, May 24, 2021 • Duration 05:31

Keeping Us Warm (Adventures Through Time)

Friday, May 21, 2021 • Duration 06:23

You might take being warm and cozy in your house for granted, but the people of the Black Country definitely didn't back in the Victorian era!

Most people back then had to rely on fire in their homes to keep warm. With finding the fuel for the fire, starting it off, and keeping it burning, it was quite a job they had on their hands!

Find out all about how people of the Black Country used to keep warm in this episode of 'Adventures Through Time'.

Keeping Us Healthy (Adventures Through Time)

Thursday, May 20, 2021 • Duration 06:17

Staying healthy is really important, but with all those factories and mines in the Black Country, doing that was easier said than done.

People would get ill and injured a lot back then but not everyone could go to the doctors to get their health problems fixed. The NHS wouldn't be around until 1948 and doctors back in the day were expensive, far too expensive for normal factory workers like so many of the people living in the Black Country were. These people would often rely on their local chemist to give them remedies for their illnesses, and the chemist would design and create these remedies themselves!

Find out all about it in this episode of 'Adventures through Time'.

Keeping Us Fed (Adventures Through Time)

Wednesday, May 19, 2021 • Duration 05:40

People in the Black Country didn't just work in the factories all the time, they had to eat too!

Getting a good meal back then was a little different back then, lots of families would get a lot of food themselves. They would grow vegetables on their own vegetable patches and keep animals.

That wasn't the only option though, trains were a big deal back then which allowed food and drinks from all over the British Empire to be transported around the country. This meant that (if you had the money) you could buy lots of different and exotic food and drink like sugar from the Caribbean and tea from India!

Find out more about how the people of the Black Country kept themselves fed in this episode of Adventures Through Time...

Queen Victoria Visits The Black Country (Adventures Through Time)

Tuesday, May 18, 2021 • Duration 06:34

Queen Victoria meant a lot to the people of the Black Country.

Many pubs and houses around the Black Country would have a picture of the Queen hanging in them to honor her.

Usually, if you were expecting to see the queen you would probably have to be in London and attending a fancy party or concert. But Queen Victoria decided to visit The Black Country back to unveil a statue of her late husband.

This was a big deal to the people who lived in the Black Country, as you can hear in this episode of 'Adventures Through Time'.

Mary Macarthur and the Chain Maker's Strike (Adventures Through Time)

Monday, May 17, 2021 • Duration 06:10

Mary Macarthur was a pretty amazing woman in the Black Country's history.

Lots of women workers back then used to be treated very unfairly, they were made to work long hours and for not very much money at all!

It was a hard and horrible life, but they didn't dare say anything as they were scared of being fired and not being able to feed their family.

Mary Macarthur saw this injustice and decided to help.

Listen to this episode of The Black Country Living Museum's 'Adventures Through Time' to hear all about what she did to help these workers.
